I am praying ilichils are not renewing. How could this be SM's treatment during their 7th years in the company?

Let's start off with saying that even if these were properly shot, they would've not been giving anything. Yet, yes, they've failed to even execute the photography itself properly. Why didn't they crop out the studio background? The improper crop of the 5th picture, and then Mark blinking in the 4th picture says everything about quality control.

If you look through my Reddit history, you can see I've been critiquing WayV teasers when they've dropped, because they weren't giving anything (well, one of the versions wasn't). Yet this is an entirely new level??? Is this really the same company who's made legendary Aespa teasers? SNSD teasers last year? Any of RV teasers? How is this literally the same company, is this a joke?
